Oops, too much editorializing? Anyway, the mirrors WILL be different. Also keep in mind that in the U.S. we will now have the fugly bicycle reflector in the front fender. You'll never see that in the marketing photos (because everyone knows how ugly it is).

I'm still on the fence about the cosmetic changes, even though I'm considering a '09 E91. I like the loss of the chrome milk moustache in favor of a proper kidney grill, but I'd have to see those hood ridges in person, or at least better real photos.
the reflector in the bumper looks way nicer. Plus you can get a painted reflector which will make it look 1000000 times better that the ugly orange in my headlight now.
